Fiorentina - Lecce predictions

Punters who are looking for a safe bet should definitely consider this match. The home win odds of 1.76 bring great value considering the fact that Fiorentina are indeed firm favourites to defeat Lecce.

From the current viewpoint, the situation is unambiguous. Considering the strength of La Viola and the 5.19 odds given to Lecce to win, it is easy to see that a win for the visiting team would be a remarkable upset.

The host’s most recent Serie A performance was quite a letdown, all things considered. They were playing away, but most online bookmakers still gave them an edge in terms of betting odds. Despite the optimistic predictions, though, they spent most of the match in a stalemate and lost 1:0 after a second-half decider.

Lecce will be looking to snag some points after the HT/FT home defeat they recorded in last round’s match against Udinese. To be frank, not many were optimistic about their chances of winning that bout, so they’ll need a better chance to climb up the $LEAUGE ladder.

This stage of the season has proven somewhat fruitless for La Viola, who’ve lost all 3 of their previous games.

You may want to consider something like an Under 5 Goals bet for this match. The visiting team just participated in two consecutive matches that had fewer than 2 goals.

The number 6th spot puts Fiorentina in the upper half of the table, but there is still some time in the season to shuffle these around. They’re expected to earn 3 points here by most experts and tipsters.

Lecce are placed 16th in the standings with 4 points separating them from the relegation zone. Though the season’s end is approaching, they’ll need to stay on their game – the teams placed lower will be giving their all to stay in the Serie A.

Looking at the previous time these squads clashed in this season, it’s no surprise that La Viola are the favourites. They managed to grab a narrow win playing as visitors, and it’s quite reasonable to expect them to do the same as the hosts.

The visitors have to contend with several injuries. Santiago Pierotti, Thórir Helgason, Antonino Gallo, Joan Gonzàlez Cañellas are the players that will be missing, which makes the Lecce lineup somewhat weaker than usual. This is made far worse because they were considered undergods going in either way.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.85. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
